Exterior and Interior arrangement ot Ideal residence.
''-' By Arthur C Qauaen. Th four klnda first mentioned com
Th floor arc the ; moat uied Knd i,w,ldt ' two sliea for domwUft use,
tho moat abused part of a homo. Moat i lnchoa on tha face and 214 tnohoa on
paoplo have a, - very decided choice aa the face. Tha narrowest width makes
to what their want : with reference to
" the interior woodwork. Whether It
hould be mahogany, - oak, birch, cy
press, fir, chestnut, etc., but 'when it
cornea to the floors they are less par
ticular ana many , hare do preference at
ma.
To bo kept In food condition erery
floor ohould have the finish oa It
touched up at least once a year erer the
entire surface that la not protected by
rugs or permanently standing furniture,
and tn the much worn places, sush as
the pasaareways between dining room
and Tdtchett" and other ' doorway, it
hould b touched up three or four timet
year, aoeordlna; to the amount of wear.
Since the: wood itself cannot com
mence to wear until -after the Tarnish
has been worn down, and-alnco varnish
. will stand up practically aa well on one
kind of floor aa It will, on another, it
la really Immaterial for home-buildlng
purpose which kind of flooring la used
o far a the wearing down of It la
concerned. '- : -""v. '
- icaple Btaada Sard "Wear.
In large department stores, factories,
eta. It 1 found that all things consid
ered a maple floor of good quality will
stand the most wear, but under theso
circumstance no attempt la made - to
rarnlah them or In other way provide a
, permanent finish, neither Is any attempt
made to preserve them In good appear-
' ance. -t', :.
In the modern department store the
floor In the main aisle - will receive
aa much and maybe more wear in a
week than, the most traveled part of
4 home will receive in a lifetime. There
fore the kind of hardwood flooring to
be used tn a borne should be a matter
of preference and price, more than wear
ing quality. ; ' , : '
- This statement,' of course, does not In
clude soft wood floor, auch as fir.
While many kind of hardwoods are
used for flooring, the moat popular -are
White oak, red oak, maple and birch,
yellow pins.' Georgia pin and fr being
used only in amall. Inexpensive homes.
v.;;.;; Oood Quality Advised, . , ; :
White oak comes in several qualities
and two kind of surface, straight
grained and quarter sawed. The - best
quality of every kind of floor la ad
vised. The difference in cost between
the best quality and the second quality
I seldom more than $10 per thousand
. Second .quality of flooring when you
get It la a very fair grade. The trouble
lie In the fact that a soon a any
thing but the best la permitted a large
hare of your material 1 very apt to
be third . quality and sometime even
worae..
The minute you permit defective or
lea desirable material of any kind to
be used you are taking chances. If you
object to the material you receive, the
reply 1 usually to the effect that "you
didn't order the best. If you wanted
the best, why didn't you order and pay
for itr
Ked oak ' flooring, when properly
handled, makes a good floor, but unfor
tunately It 1 Inclined to silver and
chip off, an that the .edges,' especially
toward the end of the strip, frequently
become slivered off In; the handling of
the material, and no amount of filling
or scraping will then make It a perfect
floor. ,
Bed Oak Also Xandsome, 1
In appearance it la almost as hand
some a whit oak. for It must be ad
mitted that a quarter aawed white oak
floor i the handsomest thing to be
had In flooring.
Maple is used In most parts of the
country, more than any other kind of
flooring. It" is close grained, of light
color, takea ' a polish well, especially
with a wax floor, and endures where
floor . reoelv considerable wear. A
maple floor of m inch trlps makes
tn beat dancing floor.
Maple also make a better floor for
bathroom and kitchen than oak. In
appearanoe .lt 1 a1 little monotonous.
and, having practically no grainTit
lack Interest and while it give a neat
appearance when . properly finished it
la not to be compared in beauty to a
white oak floor. -
A birch floor take and' keep the
finish a little better than any other
kind of flooring, this also being true
of birch woodwork. Burch run prom
inently to two color, dark pink and
light yellow. "Unselected birch," though
perfect a to quality, meana that these
two color alternate through the wood,
and. while it la not a serious objection
in woodwork that is stained. It does
not 'look -so well on a floor, where it
presents a somewhat patched quilt ap
pearance. y. ' ;
Xed Birch Is OoodV . ;
A selected; red birch floor, which
stmply means that the red parta of
tne wood are selected out from the
reat and that the floor will then pre
sent an even color appearance, makes
a handsome and durable floor. One
piece lulald linoleum makes the best
kitchen and pantry floor. A tile floor
Is recommended for bathroom and ves
tlbulea. '
With reference to the cheaper grades
of wood such as fir: These are not ad-
v'sed for Interior floors, except pos
sibly in the second story of inexpen
slve homes. An unselected birch floor
costs very little more than any of
these cheaper floors and Is certainly to
be preferred to any of them for Interior
floors:
Floors should never be stained, but
left their natural color. Slow drying
varnishes are the best, since they lndt
cate a large percentage of gum. At
least 48 hours should be left between
each coat of varnish and several days
between each coat is still better. A
shiny surface wears the best, but- a
dull, rubbed down surface looks the
beat'
For a wax floor give an oil filler and
varnish at least two coats before ap
plying the wax. Never use water on a
varnished, or waxed floor. A good clean
ing solution for any kind of varnished
woodwork is 75 per cent rubbing oil
and 25 per cent bensine. Apply with a
woolen cloth and rub off after a few
minutes.
Fallowing tn unfavorable report of
August building construction through
out the country, which showed a de
crease of II per cent as. compared with
the same period of the previous year,
the September report looms up splen
didly, though small, an actual gain Is
shown. . .
. The statements for September from
69 cities1 received by the American Con
tractor of Chicago, reach ; a total of
6.74J,573, compared With 9S8.52S.989,
The gain l only a little over $100,000
but the surprise Is that any gain at all
la shown in face of ths disastrous rec
ord of last month.
Twenty-six cities show gains, Phila
delphia1 1 the only city of the first
magnitude to show a gain, the increase
there amounting to 56 per cent ' Troy,
N. T. made the largest gain, leading off
with 1S56 per cent Then comes Grand
Rapids with 499 per cent; Duluth, 454
per cent; Syracuse, J8; Spokane, 117;
Toledo, 104; St Joseph, 100; Portland,
98, and fit Paul. 69 per cent , Portland
registers on of the largest gains In
actual construction volume in . the en
tire district west of the Mississippi
river. - - . .. - '."j'-.t .
For the nine month ending with Sep
tember, the same St cities show the
building permit were Issued totaling
t58t.349.018. compared with 8686,670.781,
a decrease of only six-tenths of one per
cent -" . ' ;

And it Is a revelation of bow different
the republlo. of France la ..from tha re
public Of the : United SUtea, and bow
like the kingdom., of Great Britain. ?
President, Polncare' book show that
tn . Frencn president, ."presides, but
does not govern"; that he can make no
decisions. , save in conjunction with his
cabinet and even then the responsibility
of the act 1 their, not hi. He cannot
dissolve parliament, save with the con
sent or the senate. ; in short, he is large
ly decOraUvcf;v,;t.?e
Where in th United State the presl-
aent naa mora power man almost any
European monarch, hire and fires his
own cabinet without consulting anybody,
end messages to congress outlining
his views and suggesting legislation, the
French president must select a cabinet
only after consulting tha senate and
chamber of deputies since the cabinet
must have, the confidence of these bod
ies and once appointed, it can be Over

1913 Msessment of Mock 128, 124, 1J5 and 138, city of Portland, embraclnf a portjoa of on of the)
. - oldest West Side residence aectiont. '
The district extending from Ball to
Montgomery and from First to Third
street was on of the best and moat
desired residence section of Portland
85 years ago. fs the city grew and
business pushed its way south along
Front. First and Second streets, resi
dents of the district south of Jeffer
son from , the river back to Fourth
street either sold their homes or
rented them and built in the newly
opened Job Hill section or moved to
the more or less exclusive addition
platted on the east ' aide. The result
wa that thl seotlon ot South Fort-
land rapidly-filled up to a great ex
tent with people in th humbler walks
of life. Within the past half: a dosen
year thl district, ho Wvr, ha ex
perienced a come-back quite a num
ber of apartment house, many flat
and a few substantial store buildings
have been erected in the vicinity of
the intersection of MilL; Montgomery
and Harrison with Second and Third
streets, and property In that immedi
ate section is held at about the same
figure a Nob Hill or th Twnty-third
street ditrict. , ; . .
Th assessment of thin section to
proportion to Its market value and
the prices at whion it 1 hold by the
various owners, is ; apparently , lower
than the assessment In other sections.
As an example, of this, block" 114.
which was the home of the late. S. O.
Rood and now belongs to the Old Peo
ples' Home. 1 ald to be -valued by
the official of that corporation, at
8100,000, while the 1918 assessment of
the block Is $43,300. The quarter block
at Third and Montgomery' is Assessed
ground valueat $12,800 It 1 very
doubtful if thla quarter could be pur
chased for lea than $80,000 and more
likely the owner would demand 85000
to ; $10,000 above that sum. None of
the Third street frontage in blocks' 135
and 188- Is assessed for more than 40
per cent of Its market value.

Oreron Ajrrlcultural College, Cor-
vallls, Or., Oct. 18. Serious damage to
the foliage of several kinds of plants
in many cart of Oregon and washing-
ton ha been occasioned oy swarms ox
mites which feed upon the under sur
face of the leave. Although the pests
are most actlve-la the dry months of
the summer, some of th specie are
best controlled by winter - sprays, and
should be made the subject of study
for identification and eradication by
alt growers whose plants have been In
jured by them. Their present rapid
spread should be checked before they
become so widely established that they
can be controlled only at heavy costs.
For several month myrfads of these
minute creatures called mites have
made repeated attack on the leave of
fruit tree, many garden - and orna
mental slants and some shade trees. In
some Instances they have caused se
rious losses to farmers ana garaeners.
Although they are sometimes called red
spiders, tney are not spiaers, ama. uu
allv tru not red.
The mites innaoir. me unaer ia 01

feed by piercing the soft tissues with
their needle-llKe Diung jaws imanui-
bieal. and suck the Juices from tne
plant cells. The adults deposit small,
spherical eggs on the under surface of
the leaves, where they may be found
frequently attached to a looae web that
the mother spins in a very Irregular
fashion. ...
In four to six day tne eggs naicn,
littles young mites with six eg and a
round body emerging. These baby
mite look very much like their mother,
and feed in a similar wanner. After
growing for about three weeks, dur
ing whloh time they "east their skin
three times, they become mature.
men first attacked the leaves show
minute specks along; the midribs or
near the larger vein. A the attacks
continue these regions become pale in
color, then brown,, and at time the
leave pucker up. If th injury con
tinue the entire leaf become pal and
finally drop, y -'-" ! '
Red spider are not troublesome in
th spring and early summer, but be
com o during" July, August and Sep
tember. When the , weather is hottest
and dryest-they multiply with, great
rapidity and cause much damage. .

mite 1 a more serious pest of pear
trees than of any other fruit, although
It ' ha been known to do serious In
Jury to apple trees.' ;. The citrus mite
has only recently been .introduced into
Oregon,, probably from California,, and
is very injurious to prunes and peaches
wherever it la found. Th yellow spi
der mite is a native of this state, being
found on the large leaved maple,- the
vine maple and the Oregon white oak.
